Winter Olympics for Kids!

With the winter quickly approaching, it is time for my favorite Dinosaur Physical Therapytrademarked activity! Winter Olympics for Kids! A great way to involve children in creative and active play, incorporating a wide range of gross motor skills!

Ice Skating/Speed Skating

Using colored spots to eliminate friction from floor, and colored cones to designate pathway. Have child remove socks and speed skate their way to the Gold! You can perform skating sprints or even fun free skating routines.

Snowboarding

Using wobble boardor balance boardto encourage child to find balanced middle ground! Count how long child maintains balance to calculate their final score!

Sliding abilibo seatacross the “ice” towards a target! I use the colored cones to mark the distance traversed. Instead of a curling broom, have the child generate their own force from a strong bilateral push forward.
